this band has a gorgeous reggae-pop sound that I’ve come to crave – probably because of the touches of dub – singer’s voice is also a husky high-pitched delight – although my drunk compatriots were a bit of a distraction and my view was often blocked, the band did not disappoint a bit – music and lyrics can move from fun to more soulful and melancholy – they were a group of 3 to 5 clean-cut nice-looking white and black people – “Where’s your soul gone to?”

Sublime-lite, similar sensibility to O.A.R. – actually stopped to give a motivational speech that he apologized for, rock that verged into pop-punk with reggae/dub undertones

“live dub!,” my new favorite music, a DJ who was good and not too obtrusive

loved them but they weren’t representing Bob Marley (his old band) or what I’d expect, played dub and then Jack Johnson (I think) joined them on stage and it was groove rap—a la Sublime
